Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Approx Homes — No verified home count for the subdivision was found in any named source. Public records settlement volume is low (4 in 180 days), consistent with a small community, but a definitive lot or unit count could not be confirmed without a recorded subdivision plan.
- Hoa Name — Public sales data indicates an active HOA, but no named HOA entity, management company, or governing documents for Hills Over Pratts Dam were found in any searchable public record or HOA registry.
- Builder — No single builder has been identified across any source. Listing descriptions reference individual custom-built homes, suggesting organic or multi-builder development rather than a single tract builder.
- Faq 2 A (Elementary School Assignment) — Friendship Elementary School was cited in pre-2023 listing and livingplaces.com data as the feeder school, but it closed in 2023. The West Brandywine Township schools page now lists Reeceville Elementary School. Buyers should independently confirm current boundary assignment with CASD.
- Typical Home Style Text (Style Mix) — Colonial style is documented in at least one active listing; custom construction is documented in a Redfin listing. A comprehensive style breakdown across all homes in the subdivision is not available from public sources.
